The clean and modern styling of this product adds great visual effect to your kitchen counter. A clever and simple mechanism employs gravity to hold a roll in place, prevent unravelling and dispense whatever length of paper is required. One handed operation is a real convenience. Unlike some other designs which employ springs, the retaining force on the roll stays the same however much of the roll has been used. Loading a new roll is a breeze, once you are aware of how it works. The Isis complements the Shasta napkin holder, also from Zojila.
